Fun>Da>Mental prompted panic amongst a group of American tourists last weekend when the London based Muslim rap group boarded a jet at Stockholm Airport. According to a report in the Evening Standard, six jittery Americans refused to fly with the band after spotting one of their T shirts bearing the legend "Don't panic, I'm Islamic."

"Some people thought they were Islamic fundamentalists," a witness told the Standard. "One of the passengers who left said they reminded him of the shoe bomber."

British Airways confirmed that the incident had happened, though according to a Fun>Da>Mental spokesman, the story was exaggerated.

"None of the band were wearing those T shirts, they don't actually exist," he insisted. "Though one of the boys was wearing his 'Bush Is Another Name For C$$t' T shirt.
